[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1086933, member: 90399"] I love the 25-06 and I wish that there were better options for high ballistic coefficients bullets for quarter bores... Things to consider: -Your target (which you've already stated). -Recoil (makes a larger difference in target shooting than hunting). -Factory ammo available? And how common? -Maximum effective range (supersonic). -Barrel life? -Overlap with any rifles you already own? -Reloading dies readily available? -High BC bullets available? -Weight of rifle? (Are you walking any distance into the woods?) Everyone I know who owns a 25-06 though would never give it up, they love them. They have quite the following. IMO the 6mm (.243), 6.5mm (.260), 7mm (.280), and 7.62 (.30) have the highest BC bullets available. Might be hard to find one gun to do everything you want without at least some level of compromise. Maybe a 6.5mm of some variant? [/QUOTE]
